"It... it definitely won’t happen again, it definitely won’t happen again, you can rest assured, Young Master Xiao!"

Hearing Xiao Yi mention the incident from this morning, Jin Xiaohan’s heart suddenly hung in suspense. He already knew very well what had happened this morning. It was hard not to know—after all, he had been taken directly to the police station, where the female demon of the Municipal Criminal Police Team personally came to arrest him.

It was only after he was taken to the police station that he found out what had happened. He could never have imagined that Sun Hao would act so quickly and carelessly, sending just a few petty thugs over, and what’s more, they had even inadvertently lured him out.

Although because of his special status, he did not receive any serious punishment, after being taken in, he was just scolded by the female demon Zeng Xiaomei before being released. However, he was severely reprimanded by his father and grandfather.

In his heart, he was filled with immense regret for his initial decision. Still, he didn’t think too much about it. He just felt that Sun Hao must have oversimplified the situation, thinking it was just a matter of disciplining a brazen student, so what he regretted even more was that he had been too hasty in calling for help. He should have gone in person to explain the situation clearly.

Fortunately, it seemed like Xiao Yi wasn’t holding the morning’s events against him, and from his later words, he appeared to be willing to let it slide, merely hoping such an incident wouldn’t recur.

In a silent sigh of relief, he quickly nodded his head like a pecking chicken, and his address for Xiao Yi became "Young Master Xiao."

"I hope you keep your word this time."

Xiao Yi looked at Jin Xiaohann meaningfully, then glanced at Zhang Bing, who had already collapsed to the side.

"I will definitely keep my word, please rest assured, Young Master Xiao!"

After addressing him once, Jin Xiaohan said "Young Master Xiao" even more naturally, and quickly nodded as he heard the skepticism in Xiao Yi’s tone.

"It doesn’t matter to me if you can’t keep your promise, just be prepared."

Xiao Yi smiled faintly and pointed to the crowded pedestrian flow on the road ahead. "Young Master Jin, this road is too crowded and doesn’t seem very clear. Forcing our way through isn’t very good, is it? It seems kind of unsafe, doesn’t it?"

"I’ll change lanes right away, yes, I’ll change lanes right away, you can rest assured, Young Master Xiao. I won’t take this road again!"

Jin Xiaohan, seeing Xiao Yi’s face carrying a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead and urgently assured Xiao Yi, then, his gaze falling on Zhang Bing who was slumped to one side, he suddenly felt a burst of anger and yelled, "Zhang Bing, hurry up and change lanes for me, I’ve told you before not to take this shortcut, it disrupts the students’ walkway, don’t you have any public decency, get up now and back the car up to change lanes?"

When you took this road for the first time, didn’t you say you weren’t afraid?

Zhang Bing, feeling a wave of grievance upon hearing Jin Xiaohan’s barrage of scolding, dared not say anything. Seeing Jin Xiaohan repeatedly signaling with his eyes, he understood that retreat was the best strategy at this moment. It was time to swiftly take off from this jerk, so he hurriedly braced himself, with his still-trembling calves, dashed onto the driver’s seat, and slammed the car door shut with a bang.

Xiao Yi knew that Jin Xiaohan’s scolding of Zhang Bing was meant to extricate themselves. Zhang Bing wouldn’t have had the guts to swagger down this road without his approval; perhaps Jin Xiaohan himself enjoyed showing off and took this route for that reason. Xiao Yi saw him vigorously signaling with his eyes, but he was too lazy to pay any attention. He wasn’t in the mood, nor was he interested in dealing with their petty affairs, as long as they behaved themselves in the future and stopped pestering him.

It wasn’t until he was back in his car that Zhang Bing felt a slight sense of relief, but then catching a glimpse of Xiao Yi still standing nearby, that sense of safety instantly vanished. Hastily trembling, he started the car and slowly backed out like an ant, until reaching the junction where he turned the steering wheel, swerved onto the less crowded school lane, and sped away.

"Damn, who is that guy? So badass, actually managed to chase away that scumbag Jin Xiaohan."

"Yeah, I heard that Young Master Jin has quite the backing. He and his lackey Zhang Bing driving that crappy Audi wreak havoc here every day; they’ve almost hit people several times. I heard they even actually hit someone once, and nobody dares to confront them!"

"When I saw those two scumbags scrambling away just now, they seemed especially scared of that dude... I wonder which Brother Quan he is..."

"......"

Zhang Bing and Jin Xiaohan’s ’reputation’ in this area was clearly not small. As the onlookers watched the two slinking away in reverse, they instantly started to discuss among themselves, all wearing expressions of relish on their faces, looking at Xiao Yi with a mixture of admiration and an indescribably complex emotion.

Listening to the surrounding discussions, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Yi’s lips. He sidestepped to dodge the focus of a camera that was trying to snap his photo, no longer leisurely strolling the campus like before, but instead quickened his pace towards the school gate.

.......

"Huff huff..."

After driving on for a good stretch, Zhang Bing and Jin Xiaohan, through the rearview mirror, assured themselves that Xiao Yi was completely out of sight before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Finally can’t see that freak anymore."

Zhang Bing was the first to speak, exhaling in relief.

Jin Xiaohan didn’t speak and instead fiercely punched the back of the seat with a glum face.

Since birth, he had never felt as humiliated as he did today, nor had he ever kowtowed to someone like this. What’s more, that person wasn’t any big shot or a young master from a prominent family, but someone he had utterly looked down upon—a country bumpkin.

Seeing Jin Xiaohan not responding, Zhang Bing didn’t dare to make another peep. He knew Jin Xiaohan must be feeling awful inside, surely hating Xiao Yi to the extreme. He felt the same, his own hatred for Xiao Yi was intense. But now his fear of Xiao Yi had reached an extreme as well, and he didn’t dare to make any reckless moves.

What could he do against someone who could shatter a car window with a flick of his finger? (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation vote, monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
